Expanding access to facility-based delivery services and improving the functionality of emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) are important strategies toward achieving a maternal mortality ratio of 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030. In this study the researchers assess signal functions at designated facilities in Nepal, using Nepal Health Facility Survey data for 2015 and 2021. The functionality of basic and comprehensive EmONC sites was low, declining over the six-year period. Lack of progress may partly be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nepal needs to expand EmONC sites strategically, strengthen referral systems, improve service readiness, and periodically assess service quality
